太湖流域典型稻麦轮作农田生态系统碳交换及影响因素

利用涡度相关技术观测太湖流域典型稻麦轮作农田生态系统2a净生态系统碳交换(NEE)变化过程,分析其碳交换特征及影响机理,结果表明:太湖流域典型稻麦轮作农田年NEE为-749.49—-785.38 g C m-2a-1,考虑作物籽粒碳和秸秆还田后净吸收88.12 g C m-2a-1,为弱碳汇;稻/麦季日均NEE和白天NEE季节变化直接受作物植被生长影响;麦季夜间NEE与10 cm土壤温度呈显著指数关系,2012/2013年温度敏感系数(Q10)分别为3.03和2.67;当土壤水分低于田间持水量时,麦季夜间NEE主要受土壤温度影响,反之,夜间NEE受土壤温度和水分双重影响;降水对麦季夜间NEE有短时的激发效应;稻季淹水对土壤呼吸产生较明显的阻滞效应,降低了夜间NEE对土壤温度的敏感性,2012和2013年分别为1.88和1.39,稻季淹水与烤田交替变化对土壤呼吸产生明显的抑制或激发的短时效应。     

黄河三角洲芦苇湿地生长季净生态系统CO2交换及其环境调控机制

采用涡度相关法,对2011年生长季的黄河三角洲芦苇湿地净生态系统CO₂交换(NEE)进行了观测,研究湿地NEE的变化规律及其影响因子.结果表明: 不同月份芦苇湿地的NEE日变化均呈“U”形曲线,CO₂最大净吸收率和释放率的日均值分别为(0.44±0.03)和(0.16±0.01) mg CO₂·m^-2·s^-1;芦苇湿地NEE、生态系统呼吸(R_eco)、总初级生产力(GPP)的季节变化均呈现生长旺季(7-9月)较高、生长初期(5-6月)和生长末期(10-11月)较低的趋势;R_eco和NEE在8月达到峰值,GPP在7月达到峰值.芦苇湿地生态系统的CO₂交换受到光合有效辐射(PAR)、土壤温度(T_s)和土壤体积含水量(SWC)的共同影响.白天NEE与PAR呈直角双曲线关系;5 cm深处T_s与夜间生态系统呼吸(R_eco,n)呈指数关系,生态系统呼吸的温度敏感性(Q₁₀)为2.30,SWC和T_s是影响芦苇湿地R_eco,n的主要因子.在整个生长季,黄河三角洲芦苇湿地生态系统是一个明显的CO₂的汇,总净固碳量为780.95 g CO₂·m^-2.     

CO2 flux in alpine wetland ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, China

Using the CO₂ flux data measured by the eddy covariance method in the northeast of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in 2005, we analyzed the carbon flux dynamics in relation to meteorological and biotic factors. The results showed that the alpine wetland ecosystem was the carbon source, and it emitted 316.02 gCO₂ · m⁻² to atmosphere in 2005 with 230.16 gCO₂ · m⁻² absorbed in the growing season from May to September and 546.18 gCO₂ · m⁻² released in the non-growing season from January to April and from October to December. The maximum of the averaged daily CO₂ uptake rates and release rates was (0.45 ± 0.0012) mgCO₂ · m⁻² · s⁻¹ (Mean ± SE) in July and (0.22 ± 0.0090) mgCO₂ · m⁻² · s⁻¹ in August, respectively. The averaged diurnal variation showed a single-peaked pattern in the growing season, but exhibited very small fluctuation in the non-growing season. Net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and gross primary production (GPP) were all correlated with some meteorological factors, and they showed a negatively linear correlation with aboveground biomass, while a positive correlation existed between the ecosystem respiration (R_es) and those factors.     

Gas exchange of Ginkgo biloba leaves at different CO2 concentration levels

One and a half year-old Ginkgo saplings were grown for 2 years in 7 litre pots with medium fertile soil at ambient air CO₂ concentration and at 700 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂ in temperature and humidity-controlled cabinets standing in the field. In the middle of the 2nd season of CO₂ enrichment, CO₂ exchange and transpiration in response to CO₂ concentration was measured with a mini-cuvette system. In addition, the same measurements were conducted in the crown of one 60-year-old tree in the field. Number of leaves/tree was enhanced by elevated CO₂ and specific leaf area decreased significantly.CO₂ compensation points were reached at 75–84 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Gas exchange of Ginkgo saplings reacted more intensively upon CO₂ than those of the adult Ginkgo. On an average, stomatal conductance decreased by 30% as CO₂ concentration increased from 30 to 1000 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Water use efficiency of net photosynthesis was positively correlated with CO₂ concentration levels. Saturation of net photosynthesis and lowest level of stomatal conductance was reached by the leaves of Ginkgo saplings at >1000 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂. Acclimation of leaf net CO₂ assimilation to the elevated CO₂ concentration at growth occurred after 2 years of exposure. Maximum of net CO₂ assimilation was 56% higher at ambient air CO₂ concentration than at 700 μmol mol⁻¹ CO₂.     

黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生长季净生态系统CO2交换特征及其影响因素

潮间盐沼湿地生物地球化学过程独特,生态系统CO2交换存在着极大的复杂性和不确定性。利用2012年黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生态系统生长季(4—10月)连续的涡度相关观测数据,分析了潮间盐沼湿地的净生态系统CO2交换(NEE)、总初级生产力(GPP)和生态系统呼吸(Reco)的变化特征及其影响因素。结果表明:生长季,生态系统NEE具有明显的日变化和季节变化。日尺度上,表现为白天CO2净吸收,夜间CO2净释放,NEE日平均值为-0.38 g CO2m-2d-1;月尺度上,平均气温最高的7月生态系统释放CO2最多(15.16 g C/m2),6月生态系统吸收CO2最多(25.07 g C/m2)。潮间盐沼湿地生态系统的CO2交换受到光合有效辐射(PAR)、土壤温度(Ts)、土壤含水量(SWC)和潮汐淹水的共同影响。白天NEE主要受控于PAR,且生态系统表观初始光能利用率(α)和最大光合速率(NEEsat)分别在6月和5月达到最大值,分别为(0.0086±0.0019)μmol CO2μmol-1光子和(4.79±1.52)μmol CO2m-2s-1。夜间NEE随Ts呈指数增加趋势,生态系统呼吸的温度敏感性(Q10)为1.33,且SWC越高,Q10值越大。研究典型晴天(6月19日—6月25日)表明,潮汐淹水增强了生态系统白天对CO2的吸收,同时也增强了夜间CO2释放,研究时段内,潮汐淹水使生态系统净CO2吸收增加了0.76 g CO2m-2d-1。整个生长季,黄河口潮间盐沼湿地生态系统表现为CO2的汇,NEE为-22.28 g C/m2(其中,吸收118.34 g C/m2,释放96.28 g C/m2)。研究结果利于对潮间盐沼湿地源汇功能和影响机制的进一步认识与研究。     

Seasonal variability in net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange over a young Switchgrass stand

Understanding carbon dynamics of switchgrass ecosystems is crucial as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) acreage is expanding for cellulosic biofuels. We used eddy covariance system and examined seasonal changes in net ecosystem CO₂ exchange (NEE) and its components – gross ecosystem photosynthesis (GEP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) – in response to controlling factors during the second (2011) and third (2012) years of stand establishment in the southern Great Plains of the United States (Chickasha, OK). Larger vapor pressure deficit (VPD > 3 kPa) limited photosynthesis and caused asymmetrical diurnal NEE cycles (substantially higher NEE in the morning hours than in the afternoon at equal light levels). Consequently, rectangular hyperbolic light–response curve (NEE partitioning algorithm) consistently failed to provide good fits at high VPD. Modified rectangular hyperbolic light–VPD response model accounted for the limitation of VPD on photosynthesis and improved the model performance significantly. The maximum monthly average NEE reached up to ?33.02 ± 1.96 μmol CO₂ m^?2 s^?1 and the highest daily integrated NEE was ?35.89 g CO₂ m^?2 during peak growth. Although large differences in cumulative seasonal GEP and ER were observed between two seasons, total seasonal ER accounted for about 75% of GEP regardless of the growing season lengths and differences in aboveground biomass production. It suggests that net ecosystem carbon uptake increases with increasing GEP. The ecosystem was a net sink of CO₂ during 5–6 months and total seasonal uptakes were ?1128 ± 130 and ?1796 ± 217 g CO₂ m^?2 in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the annual carbon status of a switchgrass ecosystem can be a small sink to small source in this region if carbon loss from biomass harvesting is considered. However, year‐round measurements over several years are required to assess a long‐term source‐sink status of the ecosystem.     

Diversity, host, and habitat specificity of oomycete communities in declining reed stands (Phragmites australis) of a large freshwater lake

We studied the diversity of oomycetes in a declining reed belt (Phragmites australis) of Lake Constance, Germany, using conventional baiting with specific reed and standard oak baits, accompanied by molecular techniques. Apart from an Aphanomyces sp. and a Phytophthora sp., baiting from reed rhizosphere samples from flooded, as well as drier, littoral sites revealed only Pythium spp. A total of 67 oomycete isolates was classified according to PCR-RFLP banding patterns and ITS sequencing, and 18 different sequence types could be separated. The majority of these seemed previously unknown species, as indicated by the degree of similarity to those deposited in nucleotide databases. Species communities in both flooded and drier habitats or both reed and oak baits clearly differed from one another, and only few species occurred in both dry and flooded sites, or in both oak and reed baits. A frequently occurring group of related Pythium species appeared to be specifically associated with reed, and these were the only species that proved pathogenic towards this host in vitro. Our study proved that unexplored natural ecosystems harbour diverse communities of oomycete species with specific habitat and host preferences within close-by, but ecologically contrasting, sites. Among the species isolated, those associated with the predominating plant might accumulate and thus may be reed pathogens of considerable importance.     

青海湖北岸高寒草甸草原生态系统CO2通量特征及其驱动因子

 草甸草原是青藏高原的重要植被类型, 与其他植被类型相比, 其碳交换过程和驱动机理的研究仍较薄弱。利用青海湖东北岸草甸草原的涡度相关系统观测的连续数据(2010年7月1日–2011年6月30日), 分析了草甸草原CO₂通量特征及其驱动因子。结果表明: 草甸草原净生态系统CO₂交换量(NEE)在植物生长季的5–9月, 其日变化主要受控于光合光量子通量密度(PPFD); 而非生长季(10月21日–4月19日)和生长季初(4月下旬)、末期(10月中上旬) NEE的日变化主要受气温(T_a)的影响。CO₂
日最大吸收值和释放值分别出现在7月1日(11.37 g CO₂·m^–2·d^–1)和10月21日(4.04 g CO₂·m^–2·d^–1)。逐日NEE主要受控于T_a, 两者关系可用指数线性(explinear)方程表示(R² = 0.54, p < 0.01)。叶面积指数(LAI)和增强型植被指数(EVI)对逐日NEE的影响表现为渐近饱和型, LAI和T_a交互作用明显(p < 0.05), EVI的主效应强烈(p < 0.001)。生态系统的呼吸熵(Q₁₀)为2.42, 总呼吸(R_eco)约占总初级生产力(GPP)的74%。生长季适度的昼夜温差(<14.8 ℃)有利于系统的碳蓄积。研究时段该草甸草原作为碳汇从大气吸收271.31 g CO₂· m^–2。     

C4作物FACE(free-air CO2 enrichment)研究进展

持续迅速上升的大气二氧化碳浓度([CO₂])是全球变暖最大的驱动因子,但其作为光合作用底物直接增加了作物的生产力。相比C₃作物,人们对未来高浓度CO₂情形下C₄作物的响应规律认识较少。与封闭或半封闭气室研究相比,FACE(free-air CO₂ enrichment)试验在空气自由流动的大田条件下对作物表现进行研究,它提供了对未来作物生长环境的真实模拟,因此提供了评估CO₂肥料效应以及揭示植物响应机制的最好机会。作为人类重要的粮食和饲料来源,高粱和玉米是最重要的C₄作物。在简介美国玉米和高粱FACE系统的基础上,综述了FACE情形下高浓度CO₂(模拟本世纪中叶大气CO₂浓度,即550 μmol/mol)对两大作物生理、生长和产量以及土壤特性等方面的影响,同时比较了与气室研究结果的异同点。(1)FACE使干旱条件下两作物光合作用显著增强,但湿润条件下没有影响;FACE条件下高粱出现光合适应现象,而玉米没有;(2)FACE使两作物气孔导度大幅下降,导致叶温升高、蒸腾速率下降、蒸发蒸腾总量减少或没有变化、叶片总水势和水分利用效率增加或没有变化;(3)FACE对两作物物候期和化学组分影响很少;(4)FACE使干旱条件下两作物生长和产量略有增加,但湿润条件下没有影响;(5)FACE使高粱田土壤丛枝状菌根真菌的长度和易提取胶状物质浓度显著增加,导致水稳性土壤团聚体增加;FACE对高粱田N₂O或含氮气体(N₂O+N₂)的排放没有影响;(6)高浓度CO₂对两作物气孔导度的影响FACE试验明显大于气室试验,而对生长和产量的影响呈相反趋势。阐明CO₂与基因型、土壤湿度和大气温度间的互作效应及其机制是下一轮C₄作物FACE研究优先考虑的方向,技术的不断进步已为利用大型FACE系统来研究这些互作效应提供了可能。     

Aquaporins and membrane diffusion of CO2 in living organisms

Background

Determination of CO₂ diffusion rates in living cells revealed inconsistencies with existing models about the mechanisms of membrane gas transport. Mainly, these discrepancies exist in the determined CO₂ diffusion rates of bio-membranes, which were orders of magnitudes below those for pure lipid bilayers or theoretical considerations as well as in the observation that membrane insertion of specific aquaporins was rescuing high CO₂ transport rates. This effect was confirmed by functional aquaporin protein analysis in heterologous expression systems as well as in bacteria, plants and partly in mammals.

Scope of Review

This review summarizes the arguments in favor of and against aquaporin facilitated membrane diffusion of CO₂ and reports about its importance for the physiology of living organisms.

Major Conclusions

Most likely, the aquaporin tetramer forming an additional fifth pore is required for CO₂ diffusion facilitation. Aquaporin tetramer formation, membrane integration and disintegration could provide a mechanism for regulation of cellular CO₂ exchange. The physiological importance of aquaporin mediated CO₂ membrane diffusion could be shown for plants and cyanobacteria and partly for mammals.

General Significance

Taking the mentioned results into account, consequences for our current picture of cell membrane transport emerge. It appears that in some or many instances, membranes might not be as permeable as it was suggested by current bio-membrane models, opening an additional way of controlling the cellular influx or efflux of volatile substances like CO₂. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Aquaporins.     

Below-canopy CO2 flux and its environmental response characteristics in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest in Dinghushan, China

Accurate estimation of below-canopy CO₂ flux (Fcb) in typical forest ecosystems is of great importance to validate terrestrial carbon balance models. Continuous eddy covariance measurements of Fcb were conducted in a coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest located in Dinghushan Nature Reserve of South China. Using year-round data, Fcb dynamics and its environmental response were analyzed, and the results mainly showed that: (1) Fcb decreased during daytime which indicated that the understory of the forest continued photosynthesis throughout the year; however, understory and soil acted as CO₂ source as a whole. (2) Using soil temperature (Ts) as a dependent variable, all of Van’t Hoff equation, Arrhenius equation and Lloyd-Taylor equation can explain a considerable variation of Fcb. Among those three equations Lloyd-Taylor equation is the best to reflect the relationship between soil respiration and temperature for its ability in revealing the variation of Q₁₀ with temperature. (3) Fcb derived from Lloyd-Taylor equation is utterly determined by Ts, while Fcb derived from the multiplicative model is driven by Ts and soil moisture (Ms). The multiplicative model can reflect the synthetic effect of Ts and Ms; therefore it explains more Fcb variations than Lloyd-Taylor equation does. (4)Fcb derived from the multiplicative model was higher than that from Lloyd-Taylor equation when Ms was relatively high; on the contrary, Fcb derived from the multiplicative model was lower than that from Lloyd-Taylor equation when Ms was low, indicating that Ms might be a main factor affecting Fcb when the ecosystem is stressed by low-moisture. (5) Annual Fcb of the forest in 2003 was estimated as (787.4±296.8) gCm^-2a^-1, which was 17% lower than soil respiration measured by statistic chamber method. CO₂ flux measured by eddy covariance is often underestimated, and further study therefore calls for emphasis on methods quantifying Fcb components of respiration of soil, as well as respiration and photosynthesis of understory vegetations.     

闽江河口芦苇沼泽和短叶茳芏沼泽生态系统含碳温室气体的年收支

河口感潮沼泽是全球重要的蓝碳生态系统,具有很强的固碳能力。碳收支研究是量化生态系统碳源/汇过程及固碳规模的基础。本研究运用透明箱和不同遮光率布遮盖+红外气体分析仪/气相色谱相结合的方法,模拟不同光照条件,测定闽江河口鳝鱼滩半咸水芦苇沼泽和短叶茳芏沼泽的瞬时净生态系统二氧化碳（CO₂）交换量（net ecosystem exchange,NEE）、生态系统呼吸（ecosystem respiration,ER）以及甲烷（CH₄）排放通量,并通过对总光合吸收量（gross ecosystem exchange,GEE）与光合有效辐射的拟合以及ER与气温的拟合,外推2个沼泽生态系统CO₂气体在月、年尺度上的NEE和ER,评估其年固碳量。2个沼泽生态系统的NEE和ER均具有明显的季节变化,春夏秋季为大气中CO₂的汇,而冬季则转化为大气中CO₂的源,芦苇沼泽年尺度固碳能力显著高于短叶茳芏沼泽。芦苇沼泽与短叶茳芏沼泽CH₄排放通量差异不显著。综合考虑CH₄排放,闽江河口鳝鱼滩半咸水芦苇沼泽、短叶茳芏沼泽生态系统年固碳量分别为（5371.52±336.97） g CO₂-eq/m²和（2730.32±503.67） g CO₂-eq/m²。研究表明：闽江河口半咸水沼泽湿地在年尺度上是一个较强的碳汇,在缓解全球变暖方面发挥着重要的角色。     

Multichannel automated chamber system for continuous monitoring of CO2 exchange between the agro-ecosystem or soil and the atmosphere

A multichannel automated chamber system was developed for continuous monitoring of CO₂ exchange at multiple points between agro-ecosystem or soil and atmosphere. This system consisted of an automated chamber subsystem with a CO₂ concentration analyzer and a data logging subsystem. Both subsystems were under the control of a programmable logic controller (PLC). The automated chamber subsystem contained 18 chambers (50 cm × 50 cm × 50 cm) and a compressor. The chamber lids were closed and can be automatically opened. During measurement, one of the 18 chambers was kept closed for three minutes for measuring and the other chambers were kept open to maintain the natural soil conditions to the maximum extent. Environmental variables were simultaneously measured using sensors and recorded by the data logger. The reliability of the multichannel automated chamber system was tested and the results showed that the turbulence of the fans had no significant effect on the CO₂ exchange. The changes in the air and the temperature of soil and soil moisture inside the chambers, caused by the enclosure of the chambers, were not significant. The net ecosystem CO₂ exchange for the wheat ecosystem was ?2.35 μmol·m^?2·s^>?1 and the soil respiration was 3.87 μmol·m^?2·s^>?1 in the wheat field, and 6.61 μmol·m^?2·s^>?1 in the apple orchard.     

植被对亚热带城市生态系统CO2通量的影响

城市是陆地生态系统的主要碳源,而城市植被是城市区域缓解人类活动所释放的二氧化碳的主要碳汇,但对城市植被对城市大气二氧化碳的影响方面的研究比较缺乏,尤其是发展中国家。发展中国家多数处于亚热带气候区,且发展中国家城市化进程较快,为推进不同生态系统类型碳循环的研究,该研究以位于中国东南部的上海市奉贤大学城为案例,研究该区域植被对亚热带城市生态系统CO_2通量的影响。使用上海市奉贤大学城的涡动相关通量观测站点所观测和记录的2016年10月1日至2017年9月30日共计12个月的通量,气象数据结合遥感数据分析了该研究区的CO_2通量动态特征及其影响因子,主要结论是:(1)整个生态系统全年CO_2通量总交换量为9664.06μmol m~(-2)a~(-1)即表现为碳源。CO_2通量增长率在2017年5月6日达到最低为-4.48μmol m~(-2)d~(-1)在2017年7月30日的CO_2通量增长率为0,在2017年8月30日达到最高为2.24μmol m~(-2)d~(-1),生长季CO_2通量交换量为2169.58μmol m~(-2)月~(-1)低于非生长季的CO_2通量交换量(7494.48μmol m~(-2)月~(-1));(2)不同风区的CO_2通量特征不同,主要表现为随着植被面积的上升CO_2通量有下降的趋势,生长季CO_2通量均值的最低值出现在西北风区为0.09μmol m~(-2)s~(-1);(3) CO_2通量与叶面积指数呈现负相关关系,即随着叶面积指数的上升CO_2通量有下降的趋势。植物的生长状况和其生理活动影响亚热带城市生态系统的碳循环过程,该研究可以为量化城市植被对大气二氧化碳的影响提供参考,同时为亚热带地区建设绿色低碳城市提供服务。     

温带混交林碳水通量模拟及其对冠层分层方式的响应——耦合的气孔导度-光合作用-能量平衡模型

利用Leuning建立的耦合的光合作用、气孔导度和能量平衡方程,以将冠层分成多层的方式,包括Gaussian五点积分法、将冠层平均分为多层的方法,逐层计算温带混交林的碳水通量,最后累加至冠层尺度,以模拟CO2和H2O通量。该模型以常规气象观测数据作为驱动变量,计算出冠层与大气之间的碳水交换,与涡动相关系统的通量观测数据进行比较,分析了不同的冠层分层方式对多层模型模拟结果的影响。从3个温带混交林通量站涡动相关系统的能量平衡闭合度来看,中国长白山站CBS、韩国GDK和日本MMF站点的能量平衡比率(EBR)分别为0.76、0.66和1.07,居于国际同类观测范围(0.34—1.2)的中上水平,因此,涡动相关系统的观测数据较为可靠。从碳水通量的日变化来看,用Gaussian五点积分法将冠层分为五层的模型能较好的模拟碳水通量的"单峰形"日变化趋势。夜间Fc为负值且变化趋势较为平缓,表明生态系统进行呼吸作用释放CO2,从日出开始Fc逐渐变为正值,表明生态系统进行光合作用吸收CO2,Fc在中午时分达到最大值,下午Fc逐渐减小,日落之后又回复到夜间的负值。H2O通量的日变化曲线与CO2通量相似,且模拟值与涡动相关实测值具有较好的一致性。在多层模型中,对冠层采用不同的分层方法,对碳水通量模拟结果有一定的影响。以Gaussian五点积分法将冠层分为五层的方法作为对照,分别将冠层平均分为2、5、10、20层的方法得到的碳水通量与其进行比较。从平均值来看,分层越多,H2O通量模拟值越低,而CO2通量模拟值越高。不同的分层方法产生的差异,主要来自于不同层的辐射吸收、温湿度、风速等环境要素的垂直廓线差异,且叶片光合作用对光的响应是非线性的。     

地质封存CO2泄漏对玉米根系形态的影响

碳捕集与封存（Carbon Capture and Storage,CCS）是应对全球气候变化、实现煤炭清洁利用的有效手段之一,但是地质封存的CO₂存在泄漏的风险,可能对农田生态系统产生重大威胁,影响我国粮食安全。根系生长是地上部和地下部相互作用、相互促进的统一过程,其形态特征对作物生产力有显著影响,但CCS泄漏对植物根系的影响评估尚不多见。本文以玉米为研究对象,采用盆栽底部通入CO₂的方法模拟不同CO₂泄漏情景,研究CK（0 g m^-2 d^-1）和G1000（1000 g m^-2 d^-1）和G2000（2000 g m^-2 d^-1）三种泄漏情景下CO₂对玉米根系形态的影响。结果表明：CO₂泄漏对玉米根系形态有明显的影响,随着泄漏量的增大总根长从40290.81 cm减少至21448.18 cm,减少46.77%,其中细根大幅减少;CO₂泄漏造成玉米明显减产,最大减产率达26.64%;玉米的地上部生物量较地下部生物量对CO₂泄漏更加敏感。综合来看,随着CO₂泄漏量增大,对玉米根的生长、地上部生物量、地下部生物量以及产量有显著的抑制作用。作物根系形态对封存CO₂泄漏的响应可为CCS泄漏监测和生态修复提供系统科学依据。     

The response of Synechococcus PCC7942 (Cyanophyta) to changes in CO2 supply in relation to the acclimation of the CO2-concentrating mechanism. I: physiological study

Distinct types of carboxysomes were distinguished in Synechococcus PCC 7942: electron-clear, electron-intermediate, carboxysomes with internal electron-clear areas, typical electron-dense and bar-shaped carboxysomes. Immunogold location with antibodies against the Rubisco large subunit showed specific label in all carboxysomes. The positive correlation between electron-density, the density of immunogold label, and the percentage of labeled structures within each type support a model of carboxysome biogenesis whereby electron-clear evolve to electron-intermediate and then to electron-dense carboxysomes by the progressive sequestering of Rubisco molecules. Cells responded to limitation in CO₂ supply by increasing carboxysome frequency and the proportion of typical electron-dense carboxysomes, the extent of the response depending on the degree of limitation. The time course of carboxysome expression during transfers between different conditions of CO₂ supply indicated that, under our experimental conditions, there were different levels of response, depending on the degree of limitation. The first level occured at atmospheric levels of CO₂ and involved changes in the affinity of the CCM and in carboxysome, which occurred simultaneously. More severe limitation of CO₂ supply affected carboxysomes exclusively, without further improvement in the affinity of the CCM.     

藏香猪放牧对滇西北高原湿地土壤CO2通量的影响

高原湿地是生态系统中重要的碳汇。土壤CO_2通量作为高原湿地生态系统碳收支的重要组成部分,碳的释放对区域碳平衡发挥着重要的作用。藏香猪放牧是我国高海拔藏区一种特有的放牧方式,是导致高原湿地土壤退化的重要干扰因素之一,并影响着土壤CO_2通量的变化。采用土壤CO_2通量自动测量系统(LI-8100A,LI-COR,USA),分别在不同季节对滇西北布伦、哈木谷、伊拉草原上藏香猪干扰和对照(非干扰土壤)CO_2通量变化进行监测,研究发现,藏香猪干扰型放牧降低了土壤CO_2排放通量,且表现出明显的日波动变化特征。相比旱季,雨季不同放牧方式影响下的土壤CO_2通量差异性更为明显,其中布伦、哈木谷、伊拉草原较对照分别降低了70.4%、87.5%、60.7%。CO_2排放通量与土壤理化性状及植物生物量的回归分析表明,对照样地的土壤容重、孔隙度、pH、总活性碳、植物生物量与土壤CO_2通量具有显著的相关性(P0.01)。通过植物-土壤指数(plant-soil index,PSI)分析了藏香猪干扰型放牧对高原湿地的影响,总体来看,对照样地中土壤CO_2通量与PSI之间具有较好的线性关系,可以用来很好的预测未来高原湿地土壤CO_2通量的变化。该研究结果不仅有效估算了强干扰放牧影响下的高原湿地土壤碳排放量,而且为加强藏香猪放牧的科学管理,高原湿地生态系统的保护、恢复及重建提供了理论支持。     

土壤CO2及岩溶碳循环影响因素综述

全球碳循环已成为全球气候变化的核心问题之一,岩溶作用对大气CO2浓度的调节以及其与土壤CO2的密切关系也受到了国内外普遍关注。岩溶作用消耗土壤CO2对大气碳库起到了重要的减源作用,对土壤CO2进行研究将有利于进一步揭示岩溶碳循环过程。因此从气候条件、土壤理化性质、土地利用类型等方面综述了土壤CO2的影响因素以及其对岩溶碳循环的影响,并提出其它酸参与到岩溶碳循环中将会减弱岩溶碳汇效应。由于各个因素之间往往相互联系,共同影响土壤CO2和岩溶碳循环,在研究岩溶碳汇时,需以地球系统科学和岩溶动力系统理论为指导,综合考虑大气圈、水圈、岩石圈、生物圈中各种因素的影响。     

The impact of atmospheric CO2 concentration enrichment on rice quality – A research review

Global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO₂]) is increasing rapidly. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that atmospheric [CO₂] has risen from approximately 280 μmol mol^?1 in pre-industrial times to approximately 381 μmol mol^?1 at present and will reach 550 μmol mol^?1 by 2050. In the absence of strict emission controls, atmospheric [CO₂] is likely to reach 730–1020 μmol mol^?1 by 2100. Rising atmospheric [CO₂] is the primary driver of global warming, but as the principal substrate for photosynthesis it also directly affects the yield and quality of crops. Food quality is receiving much more attentions recently, however, compared with grain yield, our understanding in the response of grain quality to elevated [CO₂] is very limited. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important crops in the world and the first staple food in Asia, providing nutrition to a large proportion of the world’s population. Elevated [CO₂] leads to numerous physiological changes in rice crops, such as changes in the photosynthesis and assimilate translocation, nutrient uptake and translocation, water relation, and altered gene expression and enzyme activity. These altered processes are very likely to affect the chemical and physical characteristics of rice grains. In this review, we first describe main characteristics of rice grain quality, and then summarize findings in literature related to the impact of elevated [CO₂] on grain quality falling into four categories: processing quality, appearance, cooking and eating quality, and nutritional quality, as well as the possible mechanisms responsible for the observed impacts. Elevated [CO₂] caused serious deterioration of processing suitability, in particular, head rice percentage was significantly decreased. In most cases, elevated [CO₂] increased chalkiness of rice grains. The evaluation of physicochemical characteristics together with starch Rapid Visco Analyser (RVA) properties indicated no change or small changes in cooking and eating quality under elevated [CO₂], and these changes could not be detected by sensory taste panel evaluation. Elevated [CO₂] significantly decreased nitrogen or protein concentration in rice grains, while in most cases other macro- and micro-nutrients showed no change or decrease in concentration. In addition, the responses of rice quality to elevated [CO₂] might be modified by varieties, applied fertilizer rates or gas fumigation methodologies. The available information in the literature indicates a clear tendency of quality deterioration and thus lower commercial value for rice grains grown under a projected high CO₂ environment. Understanding the factors causing quality deterioration in rice and the related biological mechanisms might be the utmost important scientific theme in future research. Here we also discuss the necessity of formulating adaptation strategies for rice production in future atmospheric environments, nevertheless, the increase in yield, the improvement in quality and stress resistance of rice should be combined and integrated into the adaptation approaches. Compared with enclosure studies, the field experiments using Free-Air CO₂ Enrichment (FACE) system provide sufficient experimental space and the most realistic mimic of a future high CO₂ atmosphere, and give scientists perhaps the best opportunity to achieve multiple goals.
